Dubrulle, p. 114. 24 avr. 1425. Pierre Lemuysie, prêtre du dioc. de Cambrai, s'oblige au nom d'Eustache de Meguian à payer les annates pour l'église de Vieux Condé (v. 60 l. t.), devant vaquer par résignation de Nicolas de Campis… n°664. 5.10.1425. Quitt. donnée à Eustache Megman, curé de St-Martin de Vieux-Condé.

En 1464, il est mentionné comme chanoine de St-Géry (ADN, 7G214). Dès 7G2224, le cpte de la Fabirque de1456-7 est rendu par Eustache de Mignau, chanoine.

Eustace [de Mignau]: 1428-1430 All references to the magister puerorum I have been able to trace in registers from 1428-29 and 1429-30 have no name. Finally the aumosne for 1430-31, records a payment on 23 June 1430 to one Eustace, magister puerorum, for the expenses of a chorister [LAN, 4G 7761, fascicle of 1430-31, 12r]. This points to Eustace as the magister puerorum from mid 1428 to 1430. The chapter acts from 1428 to 1435 are lost, so there is no record of his appointment. Although there are a number of canons by this name, the magister puerorum was never a canon. The accounts of the chaplains, however, list Eustace de Mignau as a chaplain in 1432-33 [LAN, 4G 6905, 18v and 29v], who must have joined the community between 1428 and 1432 (the accounts for these years are lost), and remains in the chaplain lists until 1434-35 [LAN, 4G 6907, 26v], his departure from the cathedral remains uncertain because the accounts of the chaplains have a lacuna from July 1435 to June 1438 and the chapter acts have a lacuna from 1428 to 1435. This is the most likely person to be the magister puerorum between 1428 and 1430. He was a canon of St. Géry by 1451 and, by his own account, was born in 1392 (that is, gives his age as 60 in 1452) [LAN, 4G 1081, piece No. 33].
